No objection here.
I believe Steve is recovering from surgery at the moment so we might want to give him a few days before engaging him with this.

Effectively, we?ll have gone through the A2/B2 cycle first anyway. So I see no need to delay this year?s election to work out which method we use. If others would prefer we communicate the merits of A2/B2 to Steve, I won?t object. Lets just get on with it.

Making these decisions in the NCPH doesn?t really work without creating a consensus. So cutting to the chase and communicating directly with the CSG on candidacy (council chair/VC) issues will probably always work out best, whichever method we agree ultimately end up using.

That said, I've come to he realization that on issues like this involving Council procedures I ultimately wind up where Avri generally starts from. I actually like the proposal to eliminate the unacceptable and then moving on from there. Although I'm not fully engaged in this debate please count me as supporting Avri's position to the extent it matters.
